[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3836324, member: 35603"] The biggest one that I will never forget was an older gentleman my family knew for a LONG time from the Spencer area. He broke mules until anyone could climb one and ride one, then he would sell it at our auction in Jones. He was at least 70 when he came riding into the arena on a mule tall enough to require laying forward on the saddle to fit under the auction block. They get in the arena and the crowd and noise spooks the mule which results in Cooksey on his back in the arena. Ive never seen an adult get back on their feet that quick much less a 70 year old man. He sharply grabbed the reins and informed everyone this one wasnt ready to sell just yet. I guess the mule registered his tone and intent because he laid his ears flat back and dropped his head while following Cooksey back out of the arena. It looked like a little kid that got caught up in the moment and did something they knew was wrong but didnt check themself in time, haha. Ive always had an admiration for a pretty mule, more than horses. Id like, at some point, to be able to do some riding in the Rockies and possibly some hunting from horseback. [/QUOTE]
